morning we as human being need the practice of the way-seeking mind and wisdom we need two things the way-seeking mind and wisdom the last Tuesday I think I taught a little bit about this subject the way-seeking mind and wisdom last Tuesday I said we have to practice anyway as if you you get the

[01:24]

fresh water fresh water from the bottom of the earth through the practice of water pump water pump the way-seeking mind strictly speaking to become happy with not only you but also with all sentient beings particularly when you live together like then like here we need at any cost the practice of the

[02:24]

way-seeking mind otherwise you always hurt the feeling of others so the our practice is the order in behalf of not only you and but also all sentient beings others so we have to we have to we have to consider what the way-seeking mind is through your whole life this is important then as Buddha says listen

[03:24]

the Buddha's teaching and think Buddha's teaching and practice Buddha's teaching it is like getting the fresh water coming out of coming out of the bottom of earth by water pump water pump if you leave it alone without using it I think water run dry run dry completely so you have to pour the water in order to pick up fresh water out of the earth then you have to you have to work quickly up and down

[04:28]

water pump anyway that time through practice of water pump you can get fresh water coming out of the earth this fresh water is not something that you borrow others you borrow from others this fresh water is your own this fresh water the very valuable treasures coming out of your own mind mind at the this fresh water is not something that you borrow from others that's why the Buddha says listen listen to Buddha's teaching the lesson the truth of the Buddha's

[05:35]

teaching and think think the meaning meaning of the truth Buddha's the truth and practice Buddha's teaching that time you can get the enlightenment you can get the enlightenment you can get fresh water visual this enlightenment is not something from you borrow from others even from Buddha even from enlightenment even though you even you said even though you said the enlightenment of Buddha or delusion or emptiness whatever it is they are not something that you borrow from the Buddhist philosophy or the conception of Buddha whatever you

[06:41]

say a Buddha enlightenment and delusion they should be yours they should be yours they are not something that you borrow from others then you become a Buddha you become Buddha you find yourself yourself to become Buddha for yourself for yourself you're you are a Buddha you are Buddha you are enlightenment enlightenment is not something that you borrow from the enlightenment enlightenment is something that you come something that it it is coming out of the earth out of the bottom of the earth that time you can get you can get fresh water you

[07:48]

can get you can hear some voice if you if you set completely the radio of the Buddha anyway as long as we are human being one of human beings all of you think we are not Buddha we are not Buddha we are the common people who has lots of delusions so if you even though you think you think they are you think are not Buddha if you set the radio of delusion or 110 delusions you become 100 100 you get the fresh water of 110 delusions whatever you whoever you are

[08:53]

we have to at any cost set the radio of Buddha the life force it means as as I as I've been before I mentioned before you have to get the fresh water by practice of water pump this is doshin this is the way seeking mind this is way seeking mind how to set the radio of your Buddha whoever you are now wherever you are now doesn't matter all you have to do is to concentrate on setting the radio of the Buddha which you possess underlying essence through listening

[09:58]

Buddha's the truth of Buddha's teaching and consider consider what the what what the Buddha's teaching means and practice the Buddha's teaching this is doshin the way seeking mind at the same time we need the wisdom wisdom wisdom is to understand to understand the infinite world infinite world the other day yesterday I had I performed wedding service wedding ceremony for someone they came to came to the temple

[11:02]

and asked something about the rehearsal and then at that time I asked them do you have did you get the marriage license they said no then oh you didn't so I I couldn't I can't I can't perform wedding service for you if if you if you not if you not get the marriage license but they don't they didn't understand so well what I said or partly because I he they don't they didn't have enough time because they came to Friday wedding service will be held you know Saturday yesterday

[12:05]

you know but they can't I can't help them so you should go to the city hall and to get the license then they left they left they went to went to the city hall and about three o'clock at the three o'clock they went back they come back came back to the temple and to see to to see me and they said they explained about but you know the common law marriage common law marriage I didn't know that yeah I didn't know that I think I think always marriage is performed marriage is marriage

[13:07]

at the ceremony of wedding ceremony should be should be performed by minister priest if they get the marriage license from the city hall but they explained about the marriage common law marriage then I check up check up a dictionary common law marriage it says the common law marriage has nothing to do with any responsibility according to on responsibility of law you know but then they want to get and they want to have the wedding ceremony on spiritually or speak only spiritually so this wedding ceremony should be performed in at the church only not not by by minister priest

[14:18]

only alone not by not by lawyer not at in the court anyway I I learned something and they said I want that's what I want that's what I want common law marriage is all what they want to do I think it's all right then I I agree with them then I perform wedding service yesterday but they said I don't like the law I don't like to tie it up at the law so for instance for instance if you if you want to

[15:25]

divorce with each other you know anyway whatever whatever reason whatever reason they are if you try to divorce with each other the law will tie it up completely law tell them to do to tell them about the big responsibility with it between two you must pay some monies to your wife you know they can't they can't escape from the law they can't escape from the responsibility what the law tell them then they said it's wrong it's wrong I think most of you are most of you most of you think so they don't you don't like you don't like in that way but I don't like either you know I

[16:28]

don't like either but question is question is not within the law itself then I said if you if you husband I said to them if your husband escape from you away without any note without any note without giving without showing without express expressing any responsibility what they what he has paying no monies to you what should you do now he said she said oh that's all right you know because society the old welfare welfare will give me some money then that's why from this point from

[17:36]

this point they think always divorce is very easy money is very easy it's very easy to combine or to separate always they do in that way because the society complete system of society welfare will give you some money so you get the job for certain days certain period then you don't want if you if you feel I don't want to work you quick quit and well as a society will give you know social security will give some monies $50 a week that's nice without doing anything now for six years six months then after six months you can't you can't get job any another jobs then a certain

[18:40]

period you should you should work and then quit and then social security will give you money some money it's pretty easy pretty easy to live in in this world I don't know I don't know it is human life I think you know I won't tell you is that there is question there is questionable it is questionable what the what you don't like the law you try to ignore the existence of law existence of law this is because as long as you exist in this world you can escape from the law you can

[19:47]

leave you can leave spiritual way of life alone for instance if you against the draft card I don't want draft card either so you want you think I don't want so you try to be against the draft card so I think so either I think so that's all right but if you I think I don't know what kind of reason do you have I don't know why you you be you be against the draft card whatever reason they are spiritually I think you are you think spiritually from the spiritual reason you try to be draft card but if everything making everyday life making up everyday life is based on the

[21:02]

spiritual way of life as if you are you are against the draft card it is not necessary to be in jail why you have to be in jail even though however however you try to escape from United States from San Francisco the law always follow you you're running with something like or something like you know the marathon marathon with with getting the law on your back like this you never escape from the law that's why you have to be in jail in order to in order to make for make for the responsibility of being against being against the draft card I can't help it I can't help so I think

[22:23]

the that's why I mentioned before we have to understand infinite world everything everything is based on the infinite world infinite world whatever kind of suffering whatever kind of pleasure they are if you face if you confront something you think oh it is not there it's not it is not something what what I have expected you think or it is unexpected event for me for you then you cry you know well I don't want to draft card I don't want the suffering but whatever kind

[23:31]

they are the draft card or law or the dev Buddhism or Buddha enlightenment diligence comes from the infinite world the moment when you say I don't like the law I don't like to tie it up as law is question is already to try to limit to try to limit the infinite world infinite world infinite world is not it's not simply it's not simply limited by anything but you try to always you try to always to limit the infinite world I don't like a law I don't like some principles

[24:33]

or everything come from infinite world the infinities infinities some then master says when one of four young young boys came to see him and ask about his boyfriend girlfriend she escaped from him he asked her he asked Roshi my girlfriend is very beautiful beautiful looks nice look I couldn't find I couldn't find any other any other girl like my girlfriend because she is very beautiful but she escaped from me what shall I do he said

[25:53]

I didn't know how beautiful your girlfriend is because I have never seen her and she said he said even though your beautiful girlfriend you know is no when you are when even when even your beautiful girlfriend die what's the difference from the born you know that your beautiful girl has or misery girl has what's the difference between two born same don't worry about he said and this boy said ah yes that's right you know we are always unconsciously or consciously I try to limit try to limit the infinite world

[27:18]

if you think if you if you understand the law coming coming from the infinite world the law is very beautiful beautiful things it is not necessary to ignore to tell the truth you can't escape the law as long as as long as one of Americans as long as you as one of Americans live in the United States this is wisdom this is wisdom I think whatever it is law or a certain principle you should take good care of it when you need marriage license you should get you should get marriage

[28:37]

license how does marriage license disturb you I don't think so if you think if you think you try to limit the marriage license from a viewpoint from your viewpoint not to form the infinite world marriage license will disturb you I don't like marriage license I want to have well service spiritually that's beautiful it looks very beautiful but law is beautiful spiritual way of life is beautiful too spiritual life is not to stick to a spiritual aspect of life

[29:37]

a spiritual way of life is to enable man to understand the both sides spiritual and physical spiritual and material way of life if you try to if you try to study spiritual way of life you have to understand infinite world at any cost because spiritual life enable man to understand the better the both aspects spiritual and physical spiritual and material this is spiritual way of life this is religion and this is wisdom when when you say from the Buddhism so wisdom is to understand infinite world whatever whoever you are you don't care

[30:56]

you don't care whatever happens before you you try to take good care of all of them this is our practice this is our practice this is spiritual way of life this is religion
